I noticed that .newsrc only stores ranges for my primary NNTP server.

Looking in some of the .marks files under my ~/[News]/marks directory, I see that there is a "read" sexp with ranges that match .newsrc. So perhaps .marks is /all/ I need to sync NNTP. Can anyone comment on how Gnus reconciles differences between the .marks files and .newsrc[.eld]? Which ones will take precedence? -- Steven E. Harris
